A Language Common to All.

n bdue lLdSe SOIlIlOIl w AlA-
1t is no doubt true that the bars put up
| by differences in language have had a
greater effect than any other cause in keep
ing distinct from each other the nations of
, the world. Discussion would probably
develop differences of opinion as to whether
this division into separate peoples has adj
vanced or retarded civilization, but the
question would be purely a speculative one,
as since history began the division has ex-
listed
1t is true, however, that to very great
degree a mans sympathy is confined to
those people of the world who speak his own
language; that knowledge and useful arts
have not spread among all people so quickly
as they would had there been a worlds
speech, and that the absence of this speech
has contributed to those national antipa-
thies which periodically break out in bloody
wars. Whether the energies which have
been aroused by national rivalries and the
necessity for national defense have achieved
results for good to counterbalance these
evils is an open question.
What brings up the subject at this time
is the frequent appearance in the newspa-
pers of references to the latest at
tempt to popularize such an universal Ian
guage. 1t is the invention of Prof Johann
Martin Schleyer, of Baden, Germany and
is called "Volapuk." 1t is said to be based
on English, as the language spoken by
the greatest number of civilized
people, to be absolutely regular,
and therefore easy to acquire. It's vocabu-
larry, though not yet large, is capable of
expressing almost any thought, and the
scheme of the language is such that when
the need for new word arises it can be
readily supplied. Another feature is that
all sounds are omitted which the people of
any European nation find difficult to pro-
nounce-such as the German "ch," the
French nasal ''n," and the English "wn
Withal, the language is described as sono-
rous and pleasing to the ear.
Prof. Schleyer's is not the first attempt to
construct language de moro which would
become universal but it seems to have at
tracted more attention than any previous
effort. Volapuk is said to have already
been acquired by hundreds, if not thousands,
of persons in Europe, and several news
papers are printed in it, principally in Ger
many. Meetings have been held of those
interested and sustained effort may pos
sibly be made TO extend its use.
But it will be wasted labor When one
thinks of the history of languages he must
consider the attempt absurd. Men learn a
language for the business of life, and those
who are acquainted with more than one,
except in rare cases, have been forced by
their necessities or interests to undergo tn
labor of acquisition. Even when one people
has been thoroughly subjugated by another,
and the conquerors settled down among the
conquered, their language has not been lost
Volapuk will prove an admirable toy to
amuse idle people, but, however commend
able the idea in which it originated, it
cannot come into general use.

UNIQUE HOSPITALITY.
A Boston Woman Who Compelled q
Caller to Take a Bath.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
Mrs. Y. is brilliant Boston woman of album
dant executive ability, shrewd wit, and delight
full hospitality. The exigences of her hus-
bands business led to the Keeping up Of an
establishment in the West, where Mrs Y. passes
some months of the year and where she enter
tains great many people. One day there was
brought TO Mrs. Y. the card of an English gen
tleman, accompanied by letter of introduc-
ton from friends of the VS. abroad. The host
ess went down stairs and greeted The guest
cordially.
we are 50 accustomed to travellers here, p"
she said, that we know just what to do with
them. We expect everybody to arrive travel
stained and exhausted, and we let everybody
take bath the first thing. / spoke to the ser
want before coming down. and everything is all
ready"
But" stammered the stranger, II cannot
think of putting you to so much trouble. +"
oh know just how you feel interrupted
Mrs. Y. "A bath is the only thing that restores
me to my normal condition when I've been
travelling, and you have come right through
from Boston"
The guest demurred, but Mrs Y was too
executive, and TOO truly hospitable to allow his
kindly intent. The Englishman was shown up
stairs to the bath room where it is to be pre-
sumed he combined with the progress of his
toilet, reflections upon the originality and prac-
ticality OF American hospitality.
In due time the guest descended again to the
parlor, where Mrs. Y. awaited him.
Il hope you found everything to your mind"
she said
'Oh yes, " he replied 81 have had delightful
bath; and now | must bid you good afternoon,
as have to catch train
''What?'' cried his hostess aghast. ''You are
not gongy'
Unfortunately must only stopped over
train to call on YOU
Mercy she exclaimed, in dismay. 81
thought you had come to remain. You GER
tainly cannot go away when haven't seen you
at ALL"
Il really must, was the reply, but / assure
you have had a most refreshing bath, and |
shall always remember, with sincere pleasure,
your unique hospitality
The story was too good to keep, and Mrs. Y.
told it at her own expense, greatly to the
entertainment of her friends who declared that
which deserved to be widely introduced, as it
would solve many perplexing question of the
proper method of disposing of guests who were
not easy to amuSe.

A Visit From the Sea

Far from the loud sea beaches
Where he goes fishing and crying,
Here in the inland garden
Why is the sea-gull fiyingf
Here are no fish 10 dive for;
Here is tn, corn and the lea;
Here are the green trees rustlng
HE away home 70 sea!
Fresh Is the river water
And quiet among she rIisbes
This is no home for the sea-gull,
But for the rocks aud thrushes.
Pity ths bird that has wanderedl
Pity the sailor ashore
Hurry him home 10 the ocean.
Let him come here no more!
High on the sea-clf Lodges
The white gulls are troopiug and crying,
Here among rocks and roses
Why Is the sea-nill nyingf

Fred Douglass has returned from Europe,
and when he reached his home in Washing
ton was given a reception at VIII ich 1000
colored people were present One of the
speakers advocated Lincoln and Douglass
as the proper names for the Republican
Presidential ticket next year. Douglass is
one OF the distinguished men OF that party,
and but for the reason that the Republicans
are not honest in, disclaiming any preju-
dice against negroes, he would stand fair
chance of the nomination for Vice Rrcai-
dent. II be should be nominated ho would

The Chicago Tribune speaks of the dis
courtesy" dad breeding" weakness" and
female spite" of Madame Cleveland" in
administering malicious cut" to Foraker
because of his 'stalwart and manly defense
of the flags" 1t takes an immense amount
of partisan prejudice TO enable man to
honestly apply such epithets as the above to
a lady OF the character and position of Mrs
Cleveland, especially after reading the state
ment of Committeeman Simmons, himself
Republican, who denied that the incident
complained of occurred. But the Republi-
cans aredesperately anxious to save Foraker
from the effects of his folly.

Prohibition, or some other influence, is
causing Americans to drink less whisky.
The figures Of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue show that the quantity distilled
has gradually declined for several years, the
decrease last year amounting to about
100000 gallons. The consumption OF beer,
however, has increased, which is perhaps
explained by the fact that it is mostly drunk
in large towns, few of which are affected by
prohibition laws

Lieut.. Zalinski's success in blowing a

suspicious Republicans are now saying be

range of the vessel, and that the Secretary
of the Navy is IN collision with him to
advance the interests Of the gun company.

cples it was when the head of it was Re
publican, but they are mistaken.

The threatened suit over the will of the
eccentric Peruvian Savilla, who recently
died in New York, has been averted, and
his relatives and the city, not the lawyers,
will get his money. The money willed to
the city is to be used in founding
an institution for the care aud edu-
cation of INDECENT children, and amounts
TO about 100000. Such an institution will
have great field for usefulness, and New
York is to be congratulated that a settle
ment of the disputed viii has been reached,
which will insure the speedy erection Of the
building.

The arrival of a cholera-infected vessel at
the New York quarantine station will
quicken into fear the uneasiness long felt
lest this dread disease should again effect
lodgment on our shores. 1t has done so
more than once, and claimed many thousand
victims. In the last two or
three years it has visited France,
Spain, Italy, Egypt and the Mediterranean
islands. 1t is a contagious disease, and
spreads along rivers and highways of travel.
The strictest quarantine and sanitary meas
ures are necessary on its approach, and even
these have sometimes failed to stay its
progress. They are, however, the best
means which can be used, and cities in
this country which are at all exposed
should resort to them in time The New
York authorities will doubtless do all that
is necessary to prevent the spread of infec-
ton from the Alesia's passengers, but the
danger will recur with the arrival of every
vessel from Mediterranean ports. Too great
vigilance cannot be exercised.

ALAPAHA, GA" Feb. IA petition
looking TO the re-establishing of the sale
of whisky in this county was INDUSTRIOUS
ly circulated on the streets of this village
a few days ago. But few, if any, siguers
were obtained. The people of Berricn
DON'T want the liquor evil among them
again. They have been vastly benefited
by its removal. The Ala paha Star, with
reference to the petition, says: with
whisky sold in Alapaha, the drinking ele-
ment in those counties as well as in our
own would frequently meet here, and the
cursIng, lighting, yelling, shouting aud
hurraning that once disgraced our little
town would be re-enacted aud i'm
proved on. Saturdays would again be
days of strife and bloodshed, and per-
haps murder would stain our streets and
darkeu our annals. The crack OF the pis-
toll and the wnoop of the drunken bully
would once more strike terror to the
hearts OF our women and children, and
worse, far worse than all else, our boys
would again be subject to the temptation
OF strong drink-a curse which would un-
tit them for usefulness to themselves or
to their country and hurl some Of
them into premature graves. 1t is a
short-sighted and cruelty selfish policy
that would choose drunkenness rather
than sobrety, vice rather than morality,
turmoil and strife rather than peace and
tranquility, squallor and misery rather
than home and happiness-that would
make of our young men the hope OF this
country bowling, Olood-thirsty drunk
ards, rather than sober, industrious, law
abiding citiZens-and these results would
follow the rel trOductiOn of whisky here.
BEN FURLONG's GHOST.
A few months ago this section of cOun-
try was startled and shocked by the muir.
der of a poor negro by Ben w. Furlong,
five miles west of this place. The finding
of the body Of the negro, the suicide OF
Furlong,and the flight of his accomplices,
Lotion and Sharon, made remarkable
story. The strangest part of the story is
this: Workmen and laborers, persons
living around and employed at the mill
where the tragedy occurred, assert posi-
lively that FurlOng's spirit or ghost stalks
forth nearly every night, prowls around
the mill building and seems sometimes to
be examining the machinery. Quite
number OF negroes claim to nave met the
ghost on the railroad track and around
the mill at odd times.
The demand for houses is unprece-
dented in this place. There will be
several new buildings erected during the
summer, one large, fine store house.

climate, productions, prices of lands, ETC.,

and distributed calling the attention Of
capitalists to the advantages to be found
